Only Lose 5 Kilograms Of Weight In 3 Months

Q: i weigh in at approximatly 270pounds or 135kg i havent lost much weight at all, only 5kg in 3months, my arms seem bigger same as legs and chest and most other muscles however im starting to worry cause its only 5kg drop in 3 months and there is still alot of fat sarrounding my muscles, do you think ive converted some of my fat to muscle? is this the reason i have only lost 5kg? will i see more results and less fat in due time?

A: Congratulations, what is you're doing now is actually perfect! Slow weight loss like this is the best way to lose weight because you're certain to be losing fat and not muscle -- as is confirmed by your observation that your muscles seem a little bigger. So, just stay patient and keep on doing what you've been doing!

If you absolutely feel that you need to lose weight faster, you can safely go to as fast as about 10 kilos in 3 months. To move to that rate of weight loss, you can do more cardio and maybe very slightly cut your calories, unless they're already low (less than 2400 calories/day total).

But the main thing is to just stick with your plan because what you have is precisely the healthy long-term sustained fat loss that you should strive for.
